Does Ceremonial Faith's +2 preaching level per priest also apply to Calling God? (Reason I ask is that I'm currently editing Liga's latest manual addenda doc and I'm at that section. )

Another question (and bumping the one quoted above, which hasn't been answered):

Does Ritual of Returning work even if the attack that "wounds" the mage instantly kills him? (Will the spell thus prevent the mage from coming to harm? IOW, does the spell trigger before damage is applied? Or can you get a Returned mage who's mangled, mindwiped, or worst of all, having the spell fail because the mage was outright killed?)
